Note: This story has been updated to add a quote, video, and statistics. The C.M. Russell High special teams were just that on Thursday, Sept. 10, as the Rustlers cruised to a 28-3 Eastern AA victory at Memorial Stadium. Cornerback Carson Hollern returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown less than four minutes into the game before Gage Allen recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for a score and recorded a blocked punt himself in the second quarter as CMR built the four-possession lead at halftime. Defensive end Ryan Gilbertson knocked down the Belgrade punt leading to the Allen touchdown and also recorded a sack, while quarterback Beckett Crouch slung a pair of first-half scores. Crouch hit receiver Devyn Smith for a 25-yard catch-and-run score early in the second quarter prior to finding Nick Stimac in the end zone from 22 yards out late in the second frame. The Panthers’ lone first-half score came on a Cooper Holland 22-yard field goal in the first quarter, capitalizing on a Rustlers’ muffed punt at their own 20. Belgrade drove down to the CMR 1-yard line in the fourth quarter but the Rustler defense held on downs, and corner Kawiwo’ole
